1/3 #Budget2026 outlines ambitious goals for Canada's economy, security and prosperity. The next step is ensuring #InternationalDevelopment is part of the strategy. #cdnpoli We've dug in, and we’re calling for four clear actions:

In Palabek women who once believed leadership was reserved for men are stepping forward to lead. “We used to fear leadership roles&thought they were only for men. Later we learned leadership is not only for men. We got the courage to compete and today many leaders are women.”

Through the #WVL programme, supported by @GAC_Corporate, CARE Kenya is facilitating Organizational Capacity Scorecard (OCS) sessions with Women’s Rights Organisations across Coastal, Western, Nyanza and North Rift regions. These conversations go beyond scores, creating space for WROs to identify priorities, strengthen leadership, resilience, sustainability and visibility. Together with @UraiaTrust, @CREAWKenya, @crawntrustkenya and @UAFAfrica, we are supporting stronger organisations and a stronger women's rights movement.

In Kajiado South, communities are turning restoration into opportunity. Across Kuku, Kimana and Entonet-Lenkism Wards, women and youth are restoring degraded land through tree planting, terracing, earth bunds and rangeland restoration while building sustainable livelihoods. Women's groups are also raising dairy goats, improving household incomes while reducing pressure on natural resources. Through #SowingChange, @CAREinKenya and @WWF_Kenya are supporting community-led restoration and economic transformation. #CAREAlwaysThere #NatureBasedSolutions #ClimateResilience

Given all the conflict in the world today, it's hard to remain hopeful. #DayOfPeace But we are. Because we know that there's a powerful force for progress in the world. It's not political will or wealth that most determine how peaceful a country is. It's #GenderEquality.
